So Texas' big TV network deal is only going to provide 10% of their *current* athletic budget for the next 20 years?

20 years is a really long time.  This amount seems very low.

Just change the conference name to the Texas 10 already. I'm not ashamed, without their help we'd be in the Missouri Valley watching fundamentally sound white guys rain three's.

OK Cat, when does OU's equally massive deal get announced?

On the positive side, they can't take this deal and then go join the PAC-10 or Big 10.

They were always going to have vastly more money than we do.  This is a 10% drop in the bucket.

We are set.   :emawkid:

What's the hold up?  Are they playing hardball and asking for more than Texas (worth it for nationally massive and wealthy fanbase IMO)?

I hope OU's network is called Red Dirt Television.
